Of gods and Men, I was still crying sitting in the car. And the fact it was a true story made it worse.
Cocoon , i know it's suppose to be a comedy, but when the old lady dies and the arrogant old men takes her to the swimming pool to try to revive her gets to me every time.
Stepmom - the scenes where Susan Sarandon's terminally ill character is giving her children their last Christmas presents from her, and effectively saying goodbye to them. Has me in floods every time.
Merry Christmas Mr Laurence - the scene where David Bowie's character dies.
It would be a good movie but the movie which makes me cry is Titanic.. I think this one amongst all the romantic movies that has made its special place..
most films make me cry but recently a friend bought me the notebook for christmas and I cried for an hour after that..
my teenage daughter cried at Beaches and titanic and says she cries when she hears the celine dion song because of the film..I'm thinking it's more the love of music that makes her cry when that song is played
I have just been watching Pay It Forward, and having seen it before, I was tearing up from the very beginning by the time I reached the end I was a mess.
My GF cried at the end of both Gladiator and The Last Samurai, but the saddest one that produced both tears and rage at the injustice of it all was Edward Scissorhands. She refuses to watch Titanic when I told her it was a bit of a lump in the throat film.
Apart from the well known tear jerkers, Beaches, Terms of Endearment, Green Mile etc. I remember crying buckets when I watched The Champ with John Voight and Ricky Schroder and a film (not the TV show), called Without a Trace about a little boy who is kidnapped. The end scene of that had me in floods. I also found Sophie's Choice quite heart wrenching.
And as for Imitation of Life, I remember being about 12 and watching that (the old version), with my mother, and both of us being emotional wrecks. I had forgotten what it was called until I saw the posts about it but it was the first one that sprang to mind when I saw the title of this thread.
I remembered that this film had McDonalds toys at the time of it's release and adverts full of fairies and happy valley scenes, and it was a PG, so when it arrived on TV I thought it might be a nice film for my six year old daughter to watch.
Then it happened to be on when she wasn't around and the wife and I vaguely watched it. :eek:
It was not the happy fairy land kids film I had expected and I was rather glad we had had a preview. Deciding not to traumatize he we didn't mention it again
The Pokemon Movie. Man, when Ash turns to stone, and everyone thinks that's it for him, and then Pikachu starts crying. Man, it was more than my heart could take.

Those are the three classics for films that 'make you cry.'
Steel Magnolias
Kramer -v- Kramer. It gets me every time

When Oates goes into the blizzard and performs that very British, but very pointless, act of selfless heroism that can be seen variously as either :
1. Sacrificing himself so that his companions will live.
2. Wimping out and killing himself.
Either way, it's rather affecting.

Pan's Labyrinth
Armeggedon

It makes me cry to think that Bobby De Niro would even consider appearing in this piece of s***!!!
Good call. Both versions are pretty emotional. The 50's one always had my Mum in floods of tears!
